"Therefore I recommend buying 2 10BaseT ethernet cards and 1 crossover cable 2x25$ + 10$ for a cable to provide this connectivity. Easier to setup, faster, and your not wasting your parallel ports...." What additional software is required to implement this low cost ethernet connection you recommend? Or is there adequate support built into Windows/95 to implement this low cost ethernet connection without buying additional software? Thanks in advance. H.R. Hansen

One additional word on flexibility regarding: Therefore I recommend buying 2 10BaseT ethernet cards and 1 crossover cable 2x25$ + 10$ for a cableto provide this connectivity. I recommend a combination ethernet card - one that can accept either 10BaseT or coaxial cable. With the coax cable you can daisy-chain together several computers without need for a hub or special software. I have 4 computers so networked and nothing more than Win95 for software. Works great. If you only need 2 computers networked, Sean's recommendation is good. Make sure to buy the special cable, however, for this functionality. Once you reach 3 or more networked 10BaseT computers, you'll need a hub. Some excellent advice on configuring Win95 software for networking can be found at windows95.com Derek
